Anderson played guitar for the experimental rock project Amps for Christ until the early 2000s.[10] In 2006, she shaped the noise-folk band Gowns with The Mae Shi member and then-boyfriend Ezra Buchla.[11] The duo, along with the former drummer of The Mae Shi, Corey Fogel, relocated to San Francisco, California.[11] After holding recording sessions in Anderson's home in South Dakota, the group released its first record, Red State, in 2007.[11] After the record's release, Jacob Felix Heule and Aaron Davis became additions to the band, with Heule replacing Fogel as drummer and Davis becoming the group's bassist.[11] Gowns continued to tour and record, releasing its third and final album, Broken Bones, in 2009.[11]
